Except for knowing waaay too much about American Westerns (I think the above is an obscure ref. to "Blazing Saddles") Siva is pretty sharp and said we had some visitors from Dizzynomics.
Lo and behold it's one of our fave journos, Izabella Kaminska, who has adopted the Wordpress platform, given us an intro post and a preview of coming attractions:
Here's her latest.
Upcoming… Posts and points I have running around in my head, but still need to pen.
1) More on the notgeld issue and the effects of war on growth (in relation to points Krugman is making in reference to Rogoff and Reinhart).
2) More on why free float is so important.
3) More on how digital issued money by the central bank could solve a lot of today’s problems, and why much of the problem relates to seigniorage liberalisation.
4) More on how China’s gain is not necessarily the west’s loss, and vice versa. There is a potential virtuous circle to be had, and we can all be beneficiaries of an increasingly glolbalised and efficient world.
5) Leisure living and the rise of decadent lifestyle TV. (Masterchef)
6) Unemployment doesn’t have to be a bad thing if we compensate workers accordingly. In times of abundance unemployment means more of society can afford not to work.
7) I’m working on a big collateral repo post about gold for FTAlphaville.
8) The return of the new economy.
9) The essential role of the state in managing the transition to a new economy.
10) More on why Jaron Lanier us wrong!
11) I’m reading Richard Dawkins’ Selfish Gene. It has important insights for economics which are potentially under appreciated. They also relate to peace and cooperation. Baboons also tell us a lot about human nature and abundance. There is an entire post in my head about a particular Baboon phenomenon.
We've added her to our blogroll at left.
We've also added a blog, MoneyBeat, which comes from some outfit called Dow Jones & Co.
Tip o'the cap ma'am.
